Hi all,
My laptop currently has a 80GB 2.5" SATA HDD in it.. and i am very tempted to get it upgraded as its not really big enough.
However i have noticed that Solid State drives are becoming very cheap these days and i am tempted to wait a few months and then get:
64GB OCZ Technology 2.5", SATA 300, 143MB/s Read and 93MB/s Write speed SSD
Or similar.. in 128GB size. The price is quite reasonable at about £150. And they id get an external drive for all my large file storage.
question is how will solid state affect:
Performance (loading times etc)
Power consumption?
Weight?
Noise.. i assume there is none.
Id be running Windows 7 (or similar) 64bit edition.
Laptop is a Centrino duo 2.2Ghz, 4GB PC6400 DDr2 RAM, Nvidia 8800M 512mb.
